Is anyone else having trouble with adding a workout in health but only the exercise ring updates in Fitness? I have to go back to add workouts for when I play sports but it will not up date my excessive or stand rings. It does not update on both my Apple Watch series 11 and iPhone 12.
iPhone 12, iOS 26
Yes, this can happen if the workout is added manually in Health. Manually adding a workout should update the Activity rings, including Move and Exercise credit.
Try this:
For sports, ideally start the workout directly from the Workout app on the Watch rather than adding it afterward. This gives the Watch the sensor data needed for accurate activity tracking.
